The History Channel special on the Mayflower gives a good history prior to the Separatist leaving England and the landing of the Mayflower. I read Bradford's account and Philbrick's account of the events. The special is faithful to both and throws in Native perspectives as well. March 25, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteSuperb!!Quote
In my opinion, this is the most fair and balanced description of the amazing event told from both the view of our white and American Indian brothers and sisters. America owes a great debt of gratitude to the American Indian. This program which accuratly tells the story of the Mayflower shows not only where America wrong, but also where they went right, when it came to the treatment for our American Indian brothers and sisters.

I saw this advertised on TV, then bought it for our elementary school library. This is an excellent video, with accuracy in both script and physical setting. Being of Native American heritage, I appreciate the portrayal of their roll in assisting the very survival of the Pilgrims. I highly recommend this for home schools, elementary schools, or to own personally! December 18, 2007
